With the advent of the New Year digital marketers are already sitting down to plan their social media marketing stratagems for the current year. You need to clearly understand what is coming up, what all to expect, and which platforms would be going through radical changes and remarkable shifts. Let us explore the predictions for the Instagram for 2018. We need to understand what is in store for the Instagram-the fastest growing networking site.
Visual Search Would Be Very Much in Vogue
The social network would go on focusing its attention on the further development of advanced image recognition that could be picking out precise objects within a photo. This system is already working and doing wonders on Facebook thanks to the ability to actually do the search through image content.
However, it will be slightly different on Instagram as on this platform the concentration is solely on pictures and video posts. So this could prove to be remarkably more valuable.
In the meantime, Instagram has been consistently upgrading and improving its Explorer option and there seems to be specific concentration on video discovery.
In 2018 it is expected that on Instagram, the search would be evolving further for incorporating picture-oriented or visual-based discovery.
This could prove to be immensely beneficial for brands as you would be successfully searching for hashtag as well as by image content.
That would be exposing or revealing a host of new brand advocates and influencers or users who seem to be interested in specifically your products that so far you could not have identified through text search alone. More and more people would be relying on Instagram for boosting brand value utilizing Instagram’s latest practices and trends such as Like4Like.
More Focus on Stories Development
Instagram stories are gaining a lot of traction and are already eclipsing Snapchat, the platform from where it was copied. In 2018 it is predicted that you would be witnessing a tremendous effort on developing stories tools and incorporating novel ways of keeping users engaged so that they are kept safely away from any tempting rival offerings.
Searchable location tags, video masks, and live streaming have already been incorporated and Instagram would be carrying on in its mission of building on these functions.
They may incorporate World Lenses and also some tools for boosting real-world interactivity in alignment with AR push on Facebook.
Effective Addition of 360 Instagram
It is expected that Facebook would be incorporating 360 video and photo options to Instagram in 2018. Facebook has been actually working hard to enhance the 360 photo process.
This implies that now you could easily take and even post 360 pictures on Instagram.
The ultimate introduction of some 360 content could be culminating in a dramatic shift on Instagram, especially if the entire process of creation could be simplified.
Now it would become simpler on your part to post really more interactive and immersive pictures.
